Pray for President Barack Obama to have the Godly wisdom given to King Solomon as he speaks to the United Nations General Assembly.
Pray that the peace of Christ that passes all understanding will be poured out in all areas of the world where there is violence, persecution and hatred.
Each week we invite you to pray with us for our brothers and sisters around the world who share our faith but not our freedoms. This week, in particular, let us pray for those who are not free to speak their minds, where speech is censored by intolerance.
Using the “watchlist” produced by opendoorsusa.org, we will pray for persecuted Christians in a specific nation each week.
We will also pray for Christians across America by lifting them up by state. Additionally, we will pray each week for our fellow Presbyterians. So, in 2012, we will pray together by name for Christians in 50 nations, Christians in all 50 states and all the presbyteries of the PCUSA, EPC, PCA and the emerging new Reformed body of The Fellowship of Presbyterians (these will be added as they are formed). You are encouraged to add specific pastors, lay leaders, congregations, missionaries, new church developments and other ministries to the list by posting a comment to the blog. (Please do not publicly post the names of missionaries serving in contexts where exposing their identity would cause them harm or bring harm to those they serve in Christ’s name.) Let us kneel before the Father and ask His will be done.
Let us pray …
· Prayer for persecuted Christians in Ethiopia.
· Prayer for the nation – focusing on the state of Pennsylvania.
· Prayers for the PCUSA: San Diego, San Fernando, San Francisco and San Gabriel presbyteries.
· Prayers for the PCA: Ohio and Ohio Valley presbyteries.
